I need add refrigerant to get to cycle on, do I do sealer before refrigerant, partial, or after fill?

You need to vacuum the system completely first to remove all moisture from the system, follow the directions provided with the product and it should work well, it did for me on my 1999 explorer, you'll need ac gauges and vacuum

It depends on the kind of refrigerant you,re using in the system. Example: R-12, R-22 is best using Mineral Oil. R-134A, R-410A is best using a polyolester (POE) oil. Check your equipment for a label telling you what oil to use. Don't ever use a lineset that had Mineral Oil in it and add POE oil without completely flushing the lineset with something like RX-11. I always run a new lineset unless it isn't possible.

Turn the unit on first, then submerge it completely. CAUTION- Make certain to have the O-rings lubricated sufficiently with the O-ring lubricant which is provided before every use as they may bind when you turn the switch to the ON position and thus result in not creating a water tight seal for the power port plug. You do not have to glob the lubricant on the O-rings, just make sure that there is enough for them to be able to slide around in the groove without sticking. Utilize a Q-tip to apply the lube. Also keep the lube and Q-tip in a sealable Ziploc bag for later usage. Store in a environmentally cool place, just not the fridge or freezer. Turn the unit on first, then submerge it completely.

yes, you need to get a gauge when you fill it, you don't want to overfill your compressor.

I bought the flush product; did that a couple of times and then added the Relief in the fresh re-fill with new antifreeze. That process worked well !!

You do but it is included. It is stored under the white cap. This is a quart so you should be fine with whats included. But if you go with the gallon size get extra hardener. I usually put too much early on and run out by the end. If you are doing a big job get extra hardener. But its always included with bondo poly resin.

This was installed by my son at his house. I believe it came pre-charged with refrigerant. You'll either need professional installation or at least be reasonably familiar with these systems. I advise against trying it yourself without a reasonable level of "know-how".

If you setup and balance everything right probably less than 2 minutes or less however,you'll have some residual fluid leftover in the funnel hen done so find a pare container somewhere to put the funnel so it can drain while you wrap up\seal your containers. This residual leftover fuel may or may not filter and drain out as I've noticed when doing gasoline so, rather than wait I find a safe place\resealable container and dispose of it.

You need an air compressor, or go to a gas station that has one. Be sure not to exceed the pressure rating of the canister!

The amount of refrigerant that is needed has numerous variables, which I would be happy to discuss with you. However, if you have a nearly full 30lb jug than you have far more than would be needed in any scenario. Please call direct for your best price. Thanks, Jason Heat and Cool Direct (574) 333-3333 or (574) 333-6666

Possibly get liquid in the sealing compartment. Be sure it is completely clean and dry

I am not sure I want to get involved with a lot of questions. However, this is my OPINION, even though I have training. If you are going to add oil from the RED TEK can, it should be added first and it goes in the low side where the refrigerant goes. On my system, since it was apart, I added the oil directly into the accumulator. My old R12 system used mineral oil. Refrigerant oils are not all the same. especially the PAG oil. Some oils do not mix well together. Ester Oil is the most compatible, I think. The RED TEK oil should be OK. Hope this helps and be careful.

I believe it depends on how low the temp will go indoors where you store the pump. If it goes down to or below freezing indoors where you store it I would use this treatment. Besides it is a good practice to lube and protect the seals from drying out after sitting all winter.

I have always been advised to never lay any fridge on the side as compressor oil can leak out.... Hope this helps

It is best to store the remaining o2 absorbers in an air tight environment. I use a food saver system to re-seal my o2 absorbers.Place the proper size o2 absorber in the mylar bag prior to sealing it. Just toss it in and seal it up.

use 3m 5200 sealant. if you need it to set up faster then i would recommend 3m 4200. any marine store carries these.

Of course, but this begs the question, "What is the intended outcome of doing this?". If you are trying to color a surface, then seal it, mixing the two products would seem to have the potential to compromise the effectiveness of both products [the sealer will dilute the coloring agent and/or the coloring agent dilutes the sealer]. Why not color first, then seal?
